Platteville Man Accused In Shooting Incident Pleads Not Guilty

A Platteville man accused of shooting at a man and hitting him with a gun has pleaded not guilty to his charges. 36 year old Curtis Scaife is charged in Grant County Circuit Court with felony charges of first-degree recklessly endangering safety and substantial battery. He will have a court hearing on Wednesday August 19th. Reports say Scaife got into a fight with another man in a parking lot on May 30th. The man reported that he and Scaife were in a fist fight when Scaife grabbed something from inside of his vehicle. The man reported that the next thing he remembers is hearing a single gunshot and feeling a bullet whiz past the left side of his head. Scaife reportedly hit the man in the head with the gun, and the men were fighting on the ground when some other people intervened. After Scaife was arrested, a spent bullet casing was found by authorities at the scene, but the handgun was not recovered.
